On the cover, was the title “The Book of Love,” and she believed it was a sign since she was terrible at love. She had lost her parents a few years back and was now under the guardianship of a viscount that was a distant cousin.
She knows she will need to marry sooner rather than later but did not want to get hitched to the horrid friends of her cousin. One of these was Lord Marston who was very much interested in her but always made her uncomfortable.
Olivia shows the “Book of Love” to Lady Penelope Sherbourne and Poppy Farthingale her two best friends. They are also very interested in the unusual book and want to use it to find true love.
